Breastmilk Jewellery
Now, I'm very aware that the idea of jewellery using breastmilk will not be for everyone! But if it does interest you, please read on...
​
As a breastfeeding mother myself, I know how special (and hard!) the journey can be and how important it may feel to have something to serve as a memory of that time - no matter how short or long it may have been for you and your baby!
​
You send a small amount of milk, I preserve and encapsulate it in resin to create a 'cabochon' or 'stone' which I then set into sterling and fine silver to create a piece of personalised jewellery for you.
The process can also be applied to fabric if you'd like to preserve a piece of baby's first onesie or blanket or some other precious memory.
Below are the style options - if you click the image, you'll be taken to the listing where you can personalise the finish and place your order.

Other Keepsakes
Love the idea of memorialising your breastfeeding journey but don't wear jewellery?
I can make you a keepsake piece that you can keep as an ornament, use as a keyring or pop in your baby's memory box.
Love the idea of owning a memorial piece of another kind?
Any of the above designs can be made with fabric in resin - perhaps your baby's first clothing or first blanket or a piece of your wedding dress?
I can also use the above techniques to encapsulate ashes in resin to honour a loved one
Please do reach out with any ideas/questions you might have.

Further Info...
Once you order, I will be in contact to confirm my current turnaround time and to talk you through the next steps of the process. You will need to send me 15ml of your milk which will allow enough for me to make your piece but also store the preserved milk (carefully labelled) as a backup in case of any postal losses or to enable you to re-order later down the line if you wish. Please let me know if you do not wish me to store yours.
​
When working with breastmilk, it's obviously vital that each order is made without error and milk mix ups. For this reason I work on one order at a time to completely eliminate any risk. Since I hand make each piece from start to finish, my approximate turnaround time is 8 weeks. I hope to complete before this but with a baby at home, and a job, I need to give myself wiggle room time wise so prefer to over estimate. If you need your piece by a specific date, please let me know before you order and we can discuss it to see if it's possible.
​
I appreciate that the price point of these products are higher than my normal range. If you would like to order but cannot pay in full up front, please get in contact - we may be able to make a plan!

If you have any further questions, please do reach out! I look forward to hearing from you!
